Trish Stratus

"A top 10 best looking woman in the history of humans and a exceptional work ethic the best female wrestler ever"

[8.0] "Trish Stratus is undeniably a pioneer of women's wrestling. She was put through so much humiliation and degradation and she still came out of it as a legend. Even now, in her 26 year career, she still has it and can still mix it up with the newcomers. Her feuds with Lita, Mickie James, and Becky Lynch are all iconic and have helped women's wrestling in North America move forward even more. She was so ahead of her time and I'm glad she was able to return and have matches where the women were actually valued."

[8.0] "Trish suffers from the same problem as other long careers women of the WWE. Her prime is way behind her, newcomers have shown that there is a noticeable gap between her in-ring and the modern in-ring, but Trish was still impressive and iconic with the little she had to work with."

[3.0] "Trish improved in the same way Nikki Bella did. It was noticeable but those improvements still put her far behind anyone with actual skill. Trish had a couple of good matches with Lita and Victoria and that's about it. She moved very slowly in the ring and could barely run the ropes. While it's not her fault, the rest of her career is shaking her ass and taking her shirt off. That's not a legacy anyone should be bowing down to. When the coast was clear, so to speak, she came back for several shaking hands and kissing babies tours to ride the hard work of better wrestlers. Trish is a trailblazer insofar as she set fires in the woods while she was trying to find her way back to camp."

[6.0] "One of the most thing that I dont understand, how Trish has higher rate than Cena. Come on guys she is brillient but not that much. She is not Charlot Flair, Tony Storm or IYO Sky in ring. But she has a good in promoes and she is hot. But if the in ring performance is not good then she wont be in my fav"

[9.0] "9/10 for my liking. Accomplishments - 9.5, Charisma/Character Work - 9, Cultural Significance - 9.5, In-Ring Skills - 7.5, Longevity - 10 (After her multiple returns) & Move-Set - 8.5 = 9/10"

[10.0] "I said this on my rating for Lita and I'll say it again here. Women's wrestling in North America is what it is today because of Trish (and Lita.) Trish wasn't from the business but she adapated very well, to the point where she became one of WWE's biggest stars. She was very good in-ring, and improved so much throughout the years. Whilst you might go and look at her matches now and think "eh", she was very good at the time and helped pave the way for women in WWE to be more than looks. Whilst WWE took their sweet time getting to the point where women should be respected as wrestlers, none of it would've been possible without Trish (and Lita.) She is a true legend, icon and somebody who helped break away the stigma of women in North American professional wrestling. What you see today, is all because Trish, Lita, Alundra Blayze and Chyna helped lay the groundwork for. Trish is a true 10/10 and has done nothing but good things for the professional wrestling industry."

[8.0] "Trish Stratus is recognized by many as the greatest women's wrestler of all time, which I totally understand considering her legacy in WWE and what it did for women's wrestling. However, I do think she's a bit overrated. She's a good promo and a good performer, but there's nothing that blows me away that makes me think she's an all time in her great. Don't get me wrong, she's still a very good wrestler who was the best in her time, but if you put her in the current landscape of the women's division there's quite a few better wrestlers than her."

[8.0] "Trish Stratus was always a good wrestler, she was just in the wrong era. So I'm happy she's been able to come back and showcase those talents in a more accepting era."

[5.0] "Right now i think she is terrible wrestler i mean im not talking about past im talking about now and i mean she is done here she is too old to wrestle i dont think that she dan get another title shot here or put a good match on her 40s"

[5.0] "She was never really good at anything that has to do with wrestling. No good matches or good promos, just the bare minimum. Still the effort was there and her influence is undeniable. Her run during her 40s was actually better than anything she did during her peak years, but it wasn't that good either."

[5.0] "I can't believe my eyes. In what world Trish Stratus is a +8 wrestler? What does she really has to offer? In ring work? Awful, mic skills? Non existent, charisma? Doesn't have any. I guess pretty privilege is strong. That's the most generous five I've ever given"

[6.0] "Her score on here is wild lol. She has a higher score than so many wrestlers who are clearly better than her. I think a 6 just for her impact for women in the art is justified. Anything extra is definitely unjustified glazing."

[8.0] "for all the bullshit she has had to deal with in her career its very impressive she prevailed and become a icon in women's wrestling."

"[10.0] In terms of credibility, inspiration, improvement, viewership....there is no denying Trish Stratus has the overall biggest global impact on women's wrestling."

[5.0] "One of the better models turned pro wrestlers. Might've rated her higher if not for the exaggerated glazing by WWE calling her the greatest of all time! She's nothing special in the ring, but could hold her own against better wrestlers who carry her to good matches, could never do the same when she became the veteran facing rookie divas and ended up having disastrous matches with most of them. Character-wise she did pretty well both as a heel and a babyface and was decent of the mic. Overall, she's certainly not as bad as the likes of Torrie Wilson or Stacy Keibler, but also doesn't compare to many of her peers like Molly Holly, Jazz, Ivory or Victoria. Just a decent wrestler who got way overrated by her fans and the WWE because of her looks."

[7.0] "Trish is a pioneer of the women's game, no question about it, however in terms of her in ring work and the matches she put on, a lot of them disappointed. Now, we obviously know why that is and it's not necessarily because of Trish, but it's tricky to find good matches from her and easy to find stinkers"

[5.0] "Trish's legacy often gets exaggerated. Her in-ring ability was solid, but she wasn't carrying matches the way some of her peers could. Victoria, Jazz, and Molly were better workers bell to bell. Trish had the look and eventually the star quality, but a lot of her rise came from being the chosen one in a time when only one or two women were allowed to shine at once. WWE heavily protected her and built the division around her at the expense of others who could have also thrived with the same spotlight. Her returns have been fine, but they've mostly leaned on nostalgia. She hasn't reinvented herself the way others have. Still, her name carries weight for a reason. She helped legitimize women's wrestling to a mainstream audience and showed that a WWE Diva could be more than just a body in a photo shoot. Trish Stratus deserves respect for evolving in front of the world and becoming a legitimate star. She wasn't the best in the ring, but she was a symbol of what the division could become. Her legacy is complicated but important. Also her storyline with Lita is overexaggerated, their "feud" isn't touching what the women today are doing"

[10.0] "Started as eye candy to a complete legend the one and only Trish stratus she paved the way for women's wrestling she picked up her skills so quick and just got better and better.And the best part she can still go today."

[10.0] "Of all the things I wish I could have loved more is Trish Stratus. Iconic. In early internet, near legendary. Trish Stratus required a lot of bits to download because there was a lot of Stratus to see. Right behind Farrah Fawcet and Samantha Fox. Or is that in behinds? Anyway! The poster girl every teen boy had. Hot. Thick. And tough as nails. Man, I would have loved everything about her. Bryan Danielson level of zen. I am new to wrestling (5 years) and a lot of the old that went down, had a lot of dark around it. She's as inside-inside WWE as any human in history. She's wrestling DNA. And I can't believe the Royal Rumble was the only time Stratus crossed paths with Alexa Bliss! OMG. Now, I want it even more. Stratus Bliss. How much 'crazy hot' is too much 'crazy hot'? Personally, I'd like to know. If you ever want as anti-Fed an anti-Fed guy could be to like WWE, Trish Stratus could be my key. She should run the woman's division. Give her a show. And if she could step in to MITB for Naiomi, I'd pretty much die in heaven. Give me a chance to truly fall in love with Trish Stratus once and you will get a tiny piece of my heart forever. Either way. She's one of the most beautiful women in history and she's a full bore pro that can go. Just about the perfect wrestler."

[10.0] "Trish Stratus wasn't just a trailblazer--she was the standard for women's wrestling in her era. Starting as the manager for T&A, she could've easily been just another pretty face. She worked relentlessly to improve in the ring, and by the early 2000s, she became one of the best female wrestlers WWE had ever seen. Her feud with Lita was legendary, producing some of the most iconic moments in women's wrestling history. They broke barriers by becoming the first women to main event Raw, proving that female superstars could be just as big as the men. Trish wasn't just a great wrestler--she was arguably the most popular woman in WWE history. Fans loved her whether she was a heel or babyface, and her presence alone elevated the entire division. Even in her retirement, Trish continued to make history. Her match against Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam 2019 was a testament to her, showing that she could still hang with the best of the new generation. Then, in 2023, she came back again for a feud with Becky Lynch, proving she could still work at a top level and deliver on the mic. From revolutionizing women's wrestling to being one of WWE's most beloved superstars, Trish Stratus is undeniably one of the greatest of all time."

[9.0] "Not much else you can say about Trish other than, hands-down, one of the most likeable (and, if she wants, detestable) Superstars EVER, one of the most popular wrestlers EVER and one of the most iconic talents in the history of WWE. There's no denying that others have had longer and potentially more decorated careers, but Trish set the standard and came back, time-and-again, to pay respect to the sport. Her eventual 2020s run was another reminder that some greatness is timeless."

[6.0] "First of all, Cagematch, Trish is NOT a technician! I don't know where they got that idea. Secondly, despite not being technically sound, she was an okay wrestler who could have a solid match depending on whoever she was in there with. Users of this website are definitely overrating her with the 10s (as I think they're rating her looks and not her actual wrestling ability, ) but it's fine."

[10.0] "I had the hugest crush on Trish Stratus but was a hell of a talent and really played a huge part of the Diva division in the WWF."

[9.0] "EDIT/At this point, I am reviewing her career up to the end of 2004 and we may have a future edit/rewrite but who knows: There has probably never been anyone who went out of their way to improve by leaps and bounds - at such a velocity mind you, than Trish Stratus. To take her skill level from next to nothing to hanging with Nora Greenwald as quickly as she did was a HUGE accomplishment. A very hard worker, I respect that. She fit in flawlessly with T & A and I liked the early Val Venis pairing, things like that helped everyone involved while it lasted. From here she was in a bit of a slump and things could be fairly dire (too much misogyny for me). She had a quick turn around/career resurgence during her reign as "Bitchy Heel who controls almost every element of RAW's ladies division", she excelled in the role and her ring work once again leveled up. Spectacular mic work, facial expressions and ability to command a room. The "good" Trish Stratus is nothing short of outstanding/top shelf."

[5.0] "Fair play to her for trying hard in an era where women got lumped with just the worst misogynist bullshit on earth but lets not kid ourselves into pretending she was ever actually good. If she came along today she might have turned out great but my rating is on what she actually delivered and not hypotheticals."

[6.0] "Fine talent, but nothing more. Deserves credit for actually trying to be a solid wrestler rather than relying on her beauty, which was all that was expected from her in that era. I'm bemused by her high ranking on this site. Only 1 great match vs Becky, never a headliner, never much of a draw, a short career in an era (T&A/Divas) that will continue to age horribly as time goes on, and yet you folks have ranked her higher than all of the four horsewomen. Hmm. No buys on that one."

[9.0] "Over her career and also some appearances and matches in the last 5 years, I think it's safe to say that Trish Stratus is a top 5 women's wrestler of all time. When I talk about the greatest women's wrestlers based on factors like in-ring skill, promo and character skill, impact on the industry, and career accolades, Trish has all of that, up there with the likes of Bull Nakano, Asuka, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and some others I didn't mention. Her matches during one of the roughest eras of Women's Wrestling were decent-to-great compared to many others in her era at the time and she helped carry the WWE Women's Division along with Mickie James and Lita, she main-evented Monday Night RAW in 2006 with Lita, it was the first ever women's main event in the company and it proved that women are just as worthy for a show main event as the men are. In recent years, she's made some sort of comeback and wrestled, she made a one off in 2019 and had a great match with Charlotte Flair, and last year in 2023, had what I believe is the best comeback of that year when she had a rivalry with Becky Lynch as a heel, she absolutely defied all the critics and stayed up there with Becky rather than being carried, and was actually better than a lot of the 2023 WWE women's roster due to her star power and in-ring skill still being quite strong for her age. Speaking of age, she's 48 but still wrestles like she's in her late 20s just past her prime. Also, let's not forget about how many wrestlers she has influenced, truly an icon of women's wrestling."

[10.0] "Trish last year proved she is one of the best there ever was as a sports entertainment wrestler... The best wrestler considered by Joshi standards no however the best "Womens Superstar" yes"

[9.0] "Trish was a fantastic talent for her era, her legacy is even greater considering she started her career as a valet before transitioning into an actual wrestler who had to make the most out of the screen air-time she was able to get. Trish had sex appeal, charisma and not to mention versatility. While she often worked as a babyface, Trish was off-the-charts during her 2004-2005 heel run where she able to seemingly portray a swarmy, vile heel with relative ease. The biggest knock on Trish that I have was that she wasn't the best worker, she busted her ass in the ring but she wasn't the in-ring wrestler that Lita, Victoria, Gail Kim, Jazz or Molly Holly were. Her program's against Lita and Victoria were favorites of mine, with her and Lita main eventing RAW still being one of my favorite matches of hers. Her recent run with the WWE proved she can more than hang with today's more athletic talent like Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Bayley and Sasha Banks."

[7.0] "It's a shame in the early days of her career she was booked purely as eye candy because as the years went on, Trish became a force to be reckoned with in the women's division and proved herself as a solid worker. Doesn't quite rank up there with today's best, but still gives good matches fairly often."

[10.0] "For me there's no one better than Trish Stratus in terms of WWE women superstar, she started as an eye-candy valet but started to get better in the ring without the facilities that current women have (WWE Perfomance Center), in just 6 years she established herself as the most important women figure in the WWE history before the 4HW arrived (and even today, she still is). She was not just growing as a ring perfomer but also her mic work got better with years, her heel persona was one of the meanest heels in WWE history regardless the gender. Her valet work was good too, as part of T&A and then her work with Val Venis. All of her returns have been pretty good despite the poor booking for her 2011 return, her 2018/2019 mini run was pretty good and showed that Trish not only could hang with the new girls but also outshine them, her match with Charlotte in SummerSlam showed that she can have long matches that in her time wasn't allowed but still had some classics like her matches against Lita, Mickie James, Jazz, Victoria & Molly Holly. Finally her 2023 run has been refreshing, specially because she has returned to her heel persona and helping Zoey Stark to gain some visibility."

[9.0] "I'm giving her a 9 for her legacy. Trish, objectively, was a woman who was brought in to be eye candy and ended up becoming one of the greatest women's wrestlers ever. She's arguably hurt not by anything she did wrong, but by the era in which she wrestled. She had great matches, but hardly any classics, why? Because she was often given 5-7 minutes to work. Hell, even now at 50 years old she's able to put on 20-minute matches, something she was rarely allowed to do in her prime. So somewhere in an alternate universe, Trish was allowed to let it go and show the world what she was truly capable of, but as it stands, she did a pretty damn good job with what she was given."

[10.0] "She looks very hot, she is one of the better female wrestlers from the early to late 00s. Glad that she is back, and still wrestling to entertain us fans."

[6.0] "The good: I never would have imagined that the manager for T&A would turn into one of the most decorated women in WWE history. Trish improved to a level that you just don't expect to see, man or woman. If she had come along a decade later, she might have gotten a little better. The bad (or, well, the truth): when compared to the grand pantheon of pro wrestlers of any gender, she's not that special. She never had to do it outside of one company and the ceiling there just isn't that high."

"Definitely the greatest of all time, proud to be able to accompany this legend from the beginning of her career"

[8.0] "Trish was a revolutionary figure in her time. She was among the first group of women to truly be able to go in the ring with others of her era like Lita, Jazz, Victoria, James, Kim and Molly Holly to name a few. Not everything she did was good but most of the time she got the best out of her opponents."

"Unbeleavable worker! She is almost 50 and still better than most of the WWE roster. Trish is everything and then some. Full points!"

[5.0] "In comparison with the current female roster she is just a bad wrestler average at best, ok at the mic but overall she is just boring"

[8.0] "Trish Stratus is the prime reason why Vince tried to hire models to make them into wrestlers, failing the vast majority of times. The first three years, Trish was very green, but by the time of her feud with Victoria, the improvement in her in-ring skills was noticeable, and her mic skills were good by the time of her heel run in 2004-2005."

[8.0] "He's a star and his last match in 2019 proves it. She was definitely born into this sport and I hope to see her in the ring a few more times."

[7.0] "Trish was good when she needed to be, nothing special, I will always remember her more for her body and looks though."

[10.0] "I rate her according to her era. Obviously she is not in the same league as the best female in wwe right now but for her time she was really good on the mic and in the ring. Moreover she has a great physique and carry herself like a star."

[6.0] "For the most part I will be basing my Wrestler ratings on five criteria four of which are based on in-ring ability and the last on charisma. I believe these five criteria are pro wrestling's version of Tommy Lasorda's criteria of "five points" in baseball. For pro wrestling those five criteria are power, speed, technical ability, hardcore & charisma. Trish's scores are as follows: Power: 4 Speed: 5 Technical: 5 Hardcore: 6 Charisma: 10 for a total of 30 and an average of 6."

[8.0] "I was going to give her a 7 but bumped it up to 8 because more than anyone, she helped resurrect a dead end wrestling division after it had been relegated to trash TV booking. Trish had the looks and she worked her ass off to improve her skills to the point of being a legit Women's wrestler."

[10.0] "Trish Stratus is one of the female GOATs. She is super charismatic. She was great on the mic (especially as a heel from 2004 through half of 2005). She's also the biggest female star that WWE ever produced in the 2000s (although you can make a valid argument for Lita too), especially after Chyna left in 2001. Trish also ended up improving dramatically in the ring to the point where she ended up being a pretty good wrestler within the 2nd half of her 1st run. She was capable of delivering solid/good wrestling matches against the likes of Molly Holly, Victoria, Lita, and Mickie James. Not only that, but Trish Stratus also demonstrated once again that she was a pretty good worker by wrestling a good match against Charlotte Flair at Summerslam 2019; which was her 1st actual singles match in 13 years (not counting that silly singles contest against Vickie Guerrero in early 2011 where she took a hot pinfall loss). Plus, the fact that Trish was arguably the hottest woman that WWE has ever employed is just a big bonus going for her. Anyway, Trish is undoubtedly a legend who deserved her push as the face of the division for most of the 2000s, and hopefully we see her make more returns in the ring against some of WWE's better female workers.""

[8.0] "was a great in ring talent for about 4 years and whenever she comes back is still pretty solid as well. has always been a decent promo, but took her a bit to get where she ended up."

"Trish Stratus, like many of her top male contemporaries from the late 90s and early 2000s, is an instantly recognizable star in wrestling history. For young men in the 2000s she was many of our first crushes in wrestling as well. She was over as a face and a heel, with a serviceable moveset. She simply had "it". It doesn't matter if there are 100 other women ranked higher than her due to perceived wrestling skill, none of them are Trish Stratus. 9/10"

[8.0] "Hot, good character, and has played well in feuds with both women and in love triangles with men. Probably the best female wrestler of her era."

[6.0] "For her era she was a solid wrestler and certainly deserves credit for getting her feud with Lita over enough that they got the main event spot on RAW but she isn't an elite tier wrestler nor was she any kind of game-changing star"
